HOMAGE TO POLAROID TRANSFERS

Homage to Polaroid Transfers because I so loved the creative process and results of using Polaroid films.  Many photographers still mourn the loss of that unpredictable process and photographic art work.

Thanks to photographic software we can play around and experiment until we create a close facsimile.  But I still miss the surprises that would be created that could never be planned.

COULD BE ANYWHERE


COULD BE ANYWHERE - I love photos that have a universal look and feel.

Where do you think this photo was created? 

Did you guess Stockholm?  Stockholm, Wisconsin?

WAITING FOR YOU


WAITING FOR YOU is how this picture calls to me.
On a rare, picture perfect day in Northern Minnesota you can lay on your hammock and read a book.

Always close by, for me, is one of my cameras in the event I want to create a portrait of the moment, the environment, Mother Nature, etc.  This was one of those moments.

SELF PORTRAIT IN MYLAR


Self Portraits in Mylar reflective surfaces are full of surprise distortions.  Shown here I'm holding a camera and shooting into the mylar board - just for the fun of it.


REFLECTIONS


REFLECTIONS can be a really fun way to play and experiment with your subject, light, color and composition.

Can you see the edge of the mylar reflective surface that was created by my husband, Karl Blomseth.  He wanted to use it for a series of self portraits and kindly shared it with me and our visiting photography friends, Judy & Allen.  We each took turns playing with the reflective surface.
